Summary: As legend has it, the first Guardian of the Sun threw a harpoon into the cosmos and roped the sun to bring light and warmth to all of humanity.

Then the Guardian of the Moon lured the moon to the Land of Darkness to provide a balance to the sun and supply the world with dreams. At a momentous ceremony to appoint the two new guardians, an accident seems to occur; the heir apparent is passed over, and the title Guardian of the Moon is bestowed on the waif-like Mune, a small and frightened forest faun who seems wholly unprepared to take on such a weighty responsibility. This news excites Necross, the nefarious ruler of the Underworld, a corrupted ex-guardian who decides to take advantage of Mune's weakness and steal back the sun for himself. Now it is up to unlikely hero Mune and his friend Glim - a headstrong young girl with wax for skin - to save the sun and restore order to the world. … Expand

This movie is absolutely underrated. The plot is straight forward, but this is okay this way because the movie makes this up in all other departments.

The plot is straight forward, but this is okay this way because the movie makes this up in all other departments. I've seen it on a review on Youtube "by accident" and was hooked by the very first frames of it that, after a couple of minutes, I bought it on iTunes. Compared to other, "big studio releases", MUNE has such a freedom of design, such art going on it's amazing. This movie plays greatly with opposites (arrogant and naive, big and small, day and night...) visually. The characters are sometimes a bit weird - a molten candle as father - but little details give them immediately something to like about them.

What I enjoy most is the carefree attitude. Adoring the nice colour play and lovely art and the movie score. I am not quite a guy that always defends every design with "art" and "freedom of interpretation", but this movie is some form of art. Very obscure. I bought RIO and MUNE, and I would vote for MUNE much, much more, despite RIO being nice and funny too.

This movie, MUNE, is honest, sincere, enjoyable and if you let slip some strange character design, an absolutely fantastic movie. This wants me to see more, but every cute fairytale has an end, right..?… Expand

Mune has some nice stylised animation but a very simplistic and ultimately unsatisfying plot.
